AYOUB KHAN.
Lord Salisbury Regards His Escape as an
Incident of Much Importance.

Lord Salisbury Regards His Escape
Incident of Much Importance.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Sept 10-Lord Salisbury admits
that the escape of Ayonb Khan is an incident of
much political Importance and strongly con-
de1nns the want OF vigilance on the part of the
Persian authorities. It is known that Mr..
Nicholson, the British minister at Teheran,
instructed to offer a reward of G100 900 for
Ayoubs recapture Notwithstanding semi official
denials from St Petersburg it is generally be-
lieved that Ayoub's escape. was the result of
Russian intrigue The Shah of Persia would
not have allowed so profitable a hostage to
wander away from his dominions unless
he had received hint from Russia that it would
be TO his interest to shut his the vagaries
of his princely guest Ayoub's fight from
Teherau was in answer to call from the Ghilza
chiefs to come and lead them. The Shah of
Persia knew that Ayoub had received such a
call, but instead of taking precautions to prevent
his leaving Persian territory the Shah publicly
announced that he himself was going visit the
European courts, and court circles in London;
remem bering the Shah's escapades while visiting
the court of St James on former occasion.
he became Mortified at the idea of having again
to entertain the slovenly Persian monarch.
Since the escape of Ayoub Khan, nothing
has been heard of the Shah's intended visit to
London, and should he etill persist on coming
here he will meet with a very cool reception in
comparison with the he received when
Ayouo Khan was an apparently close ly-watched
prisoner at Teheran. Ayoub Khan is the most
formidable of the Afghan pretenders, and has
cost England many millions of pounds and the
lives of thousands OF her best soldiers. His ex-
peditition in 1880 was one OF the most dramatic

There is natural pride about longevity
which tends to invest it's subjects with
halo of romance, and to obscure the act
ual duration of life. Professor Hum
phrey, while making this remark, MAIN
tains with reason, that there is no fact Of
medicine more fully established than the
by no means infrequent attainment of
the centenarian age. The case of M.
Chevreuil, the distinguished Partisan
chemist, whose centenary was recently
celebrated in France, may be quoted to
show that the advanced age in question
is compatible with fair degree of active
intelligence. It might seem that the
hackneyed phrase about mans Second
childhood" is by no means to be taken as
invariably implying mental weakness or
decrepitude; contrariwise, it may occa-
sionally mean an apparent revival of the
powers which in early life are budding
forth toward their more perfect develop
ment. Lady Smith, at the age of 103,
was brisk and lively parsonage, took an
intelligent interest in the worlds doings
and showed none of the emptiness of
ideas and general WEAKNESS of mind
which one is accustomed to associate
with very aged people. Miss Hastings, of
bennington, at the age of 103, was &C.
customed to remark cheerily to her
friends, on bidding them good-by: "Pay
me visit when you next come to LEAN
ington. shall like to see you and hear
how you are going on" The fact that
women preponderate over men in the list
OF centenarians is not usually known. In
Professor Humphreys case the porpor-
ton was 36 women to 16 men. He tells
us that the comparative immunity of the
gentler sex from the exposures and risks
to which. men are subjected and the
greater temperance in eating and drink
ing exhibited by women, are the chief
points in determining their higher.
chances of longevity. OF the 36 women,
rs had been married, and IL had borne
large families. OF the 26 who had been
wives, eight had married before they were
20-one at 16 and two at IL years of age.
Twelve OF the 50 centenarians were dis.
covered to have been the eldest children
of their parents.

The first Bonaparte who lived in
America was Joseph, the eldest of the

of Naples, and from 1908 until 1918 King
of Spain. After the overthrow of Napo-
leon l., at Waterloo, Joseph Bonaparte

years. He returned to Europe in 1926
and died in Florence in 1874 I remem-
Der as boy, with what awe I looked at
the house in Bordentown where the ex
King of Spain, d Bonaparte, had resided,
although then for years he had returned
across the water. The second Bonaparte
who lived in America was Charles Luciep,
the Prince of Canine, and the father of
Cardinal Bonaparte. In 1922 he married
Zenade the daughter of Joseph, and went
to the United States, where for some
time he resided with his father-in-law at
Bordentown, N. J. While in America
he gave himself up to pathological and
other natural history studies. He thus
wandered over our country from Florida
to New England, making, perhaps his
longest sojourn in Florida, where I be-
lieve he invested in real estate. In 1925
he published in Philadelphia american

TEMPERANCE AND INTEMPERANCE.

THE January Atlantic says: The over
throw, the extirpation of the saloon is de-
manded upon every consideration, secular
or religious, worthy to be named. The
prosecution of popular conviction on this
issue is the most useful work of educa-
ton to which patriotic and philanthropic
energies can be put to-day"
The Nation says: "The saloon is
not simply place to which men resort
for society and exhilaration. 1t is almost
invariably political club, of which the
liquor dealer is the head, and he goes
into politics for precisely the came rea-
son for which he sells liquor. All his
political influence is corrupting. Every
thing that he tells his customers of what
is going on in politics, confirms them in
the belief that it is simply means of
robbing the taxpayer. When they put
him in office, it is for the avowed pur-
pose of plundering and sharing with
them. Whatsoever he may be in poll
tics, too, whether alderman or school
trustee, his voice is always raised ON the
side of corruption and disorder. 1t is
evident to the most careless political
observer that the temperance movement
is spreading with great rapidity to nearly
all parts of the Union"
The Chicago Tribune says: "There
can be no doubt that there are altogether
too many saloons in the manufacturing
districts. They are traps set around the
factories to catch the workingmen and
fill them with vile liquor that they may
be stripped of their wages. Cullerton is
also right about prohibiting the sale of
liquor in grocery stores. Those places
are dangerous women and children traps.
Under the cover of the grocery tip
pling by women is greatly encouraged
and concealed. Hundreds OF mechanics
and artisans wives are ruined by too fire.
quent visits to the grocery on various
plausible pretexts, but really to get swigs

monthly bill is swelled by the cost of the
wife's whisky, which is, however, dis
suised under various innocent names, as
tea, sugar, coffee, spice"

Listening, few weeks ago, to some
serious and animated discussions on
social topics We were struck with the
frequency and promptness with which
the saloon " was recognized as the foe
of social order and the determined
opposer of all true progress. "Saloon
politics " was mentioned time and again
as a we'll understood item in the COM
putation of forces affecting the national
life and marring its interests. 1t was
agreed on all sides that the "saloon"
was apower in politics, and that it meant
to hold its power and extend it, and re.
sist all efforts to control or nullify its in
Auence. The admission of all this influ-
ence is to be esteemed as evil, and only
evil, and that continually. Cripple the

they swung to and fro. The irregular
movements of the ground led to the form
alton of numerous great crevices, from
which turbid waters were thrown up to q
considerable height. To protect them
selves from being engulfed in these fis-
sures, the people felled trees SO that they
lay on the ground at right angles to the
general trend of the assures, and built
places of refuge on the broad founda-
tions which they thus secured. There
can be no question that disturbance of
this magnitude would, in the present con-
dition of the region where it occurred,
cause greater destruction than did that
which recently occurred at Charleston,
s. @.
These two series of shocks, that OF
1911 and 1886, have close general re-
lation to each other, SO alike are they, in
deed, as to suggest that the great series
of repeated shocks, gradually diminish
ing in intensity, may be the type of dis
turbance characteristic of the lowland
districts OF the southern part of this con-
tinent. The New Madrid earthquake of
1911 was, however, by far the more ex.
tended phenomenon the shocks were
more frequent and of much greater VIC
lence, and the period during which they
occurred was far longer than in the Caro-.
lima disturbances.
1t is satisfactory to find that, within
the area Of the United States, two centu-
ries OF historic record and much natural
evidence go to show that great EARTH
quakes are exceptional, but this should
not blind us to the fact that large areas
are already known to have suffered from
movements which may bring widespread
destruction, where the builder takes no
account of any other disturber of stabil-
lty save gravitation. 1t is not likely that
we as yet know, by experience, the full
extent of country which is subject to this
order OF shocke; our historic perspective
is very short, and the natural evidence
does not give us any assurance concern
ing disturbances Of this lesser order. 1t
Is clear that we cannot, in this country,
reckon on an earth as stable as that of
the northern region of Europe, where our
race was bred and our building system
developed. 1t is equally clear that the
mode of construction should be adapted
to the new needs which the less firm
ground of this country imposes on u.s.
